Characteristics of Italian Artist Discussed at Club
The Churscay Club met at Mrs Ios Burrows home on April 1 to hear Mrs. C W Kauke discuss What is Known as the Boulognese school of art. Ludovico Carsacc and Annidale’s influence shaped this primeval idea that painters should translate ideas and beauty from observation. Newkirk summarized the artist Guid Kenis and outlined three periods of his work: early vibrant color and grace, a powerful second phase, and a third phase marred by gambling to finance vice. His prolific career yielded wealth, later loss, and a grave pompous burial.
